Telling time half past worksheets
At half past, the long hand points down to the 6 and the short hand sits halfway between two numbers, which is the part children often misread. These sheets mix o'clock and half past times, and the grid includes the usual mistakes, so a misread clock leaves a gap in the picture.

Tips for practising
- Point out that at half past the short hand has already left the hour: at half past 3 it is between 3 and 4.
- Write the time both ways: “half past 3” and “3:30”.
- Fold a paper circle in half to show where “half” comes from.
